[Intro]
D D D D A G D D D D D D A G D D

[Verse]
D A D
Eighteen yellow roses came to day
A D D7
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bou quet
G
When the boy came to the door
D
I didn't know what to say
A D
But eighteen yellow roses came to day
A D
I opened up the card to see what it said
A
I couldn't believe my eyes
D D7
When I had read
G D
Though you belong to another I love you anyway
A A7 D
Yes eighteen yellow roses came to day

[Verse]
Dm D
I never doubted your love for a minute
Dm D
I always thought that you would be true
Dm D
But now this box and the flowers in it
Dm Em A
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do
D A D
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
A D D7
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
G D
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will fade and die one day
A D
But a father's love will never fade a way
Will never fade away
